The Allahabad High Court while hearing the PILs filed against Adipurush movie commented on why the tolerance of a particular religion is put to test. The bench mentioned that the film makers should be thankful that no one created a public order disturbance, they went to watch the movie and only forced to close the hall, but the public could have done something more. The bench remarked that Central Board of Film Certification should have done something while granting the certificate. The bench made it categorically clear that religious scriptures towards which people are sensitive should not be encroached upon. The court also allowed the application seeking impleadment of dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla as a respondent.
